Prerequisites

You can specify a plant in the Organizational Levels dialog box before you access the Purchasing screen, but you do not have to do so since not all purchasing data is plant-specific. As a result, the data displayed depends on whether you enter a plant or not.

Features

Plant-Specific Material Statuses

See Material Statuses .

Activities

The following data on the Purchasing screen is also used by other user departments so consult with the other users before making your entries:

  • Batch management

  • Goods receipt processing time

If you have specified a plant in the Organizational Levels dialog box, you can maintain the following data on the Foreign Trade: Import Data screen:

  • Customs tariff preferences

    By choosing this function, you access a dialog box in which you can enter preference data for each customs area assigned to the country of the plant. On the Foreign Trade: Import Data screen, the system merely displays whether the preference status and vendor declaration status are OK or not.

    The preference status is not OK if a negative preference indicator (A, D, or E) is assigned to at least one customs area.

    The vendor declaration status is not OK if a negative vendor declaration indicator (A or D) is assigned to at least one customs area.

    End of the note.
